Premier jewelry party

A friend of mine had a jewelry party a few weeks ago and the nice friend that I am, attended, plus I needed a night away from the kiddos. Anyway, I had an OK time looking at jewelry, chatting it up with other moms, and of course wining some free jewelry. Then I went and did something I shouldn’t have done - I signed up to have a party!

I know, I know, I should kick myself for doing it, but what’s done is done. I’m not going to cancel, so I will trudge along. So in May, I will be hosting a party for jewelry; a thing I said I would never do! I hate the whole idea; inviting people to it, cleaning up for it, trying to figure out what kind of foods to serve. UGH!

I’m just not a party person - home parties like this I mean :). I don’t like when people feel obligated to buy something because they showed up. I hate when people show up to have a good time and would like to buy something, but can’t because they can’t afford it. You know, all the same things that happen at all the other home-type parties.

So, I look at the bright side of it, if enough people show up, I get money off - plus free jewelry. Having the party gives me a reason to have people over and have adult beverages. Now that I am thinking about all the people that I plan to invite, all of them are brunettes. Nothing better then a room full of dark haired beauties - OK, dark haired 30-somethings that are getting together for a night without kids!

So, I will look at the bright-side, hope to have fun and look forward to everyone else having fun, or at least look like they are. In the event that anyone gets a bit over-done, I will also have some great stories to tell for “just in case” timing too!

Wish me luck!

Going Out

Tonight I am going out. Technically not out as in a date, like dinner and a movie, or drinks, although I am pretty sure alcohol will be consumed. I am going to my friends house for a BBQ. It has been some time since my last outing, so I am looking forward to having some adult conversation, even though her husband asks like he is 5.

One of the best parts of going over there to eat, I don’t have to cook. YEAH ME! Dessert is simple, go buy some brownies or a cheesecake, good to go! Oh, can’t forget the drinks, need to write that down. Important on the to do list - make sure the babysitter is here by 5 PM, that way I can leave on time, well as close to on time as possible.

Hmmm… suppose to be others there, but most either work with the 5-year-old husband or live around my friends, so of course no one I know. I hate that - like being a third wheel. Oh well, I will go have a merry time and enjoy myself, eat, drink, and meet some new people. I can do anything!

Other than Friday night excitement, my weekend is looking pretty calm. Laundry and dishes and some more of some sort of cleaning I am sure. The glamour of being a mom Plus I get to look forward to kickboxing and tanning, still a calm weekend. Oh, I forgot, mud pies are sure to be in there, along with some pink sand playing.

Enjoy! TTFN,
